Abstract: A method of correcting erroneous data due to
thermal asperity and a device therefor is provided.
A magnetic disc device equipped with such error
correction device is also provided. The correction
device comprises: a comparator (40) for comparing
data signal reproduced from a magnetic disc (24) with
a predetermined threshold signal; and means for
generating an error signal based on the signal output
from the comparator (40) and the data signal. Using
the error signal (23), the location and the length of
erroneous data included in the data signal are
determined. The erroneous data may be corrected,
irrespective of the length thereof, by selective use
of hardware ECC on the fly and software ECC. An
alternative error signal may be generated by a
technique based on the run lengths of the data.

Title: Curable rubber composition
Inventor: TOJO TETSUO
IPC: C08L23/16
Filed: 1998-08-13
Abstract: A curable rubber composition comprises of a silicone rubber (A) and an
ethylene-α-olefin-polyene amorphous copolymer (B) containing as the polyene
component a norbornene compound having at least one kind of vinyl terminal
group represented by 5-vinyl-2-norbornene or 5-methylene-2-norbornene. The
rubber compositon is speedily cured, if said components (A) and (B) are mixed by
the A/B mixing ratio of 98/2 - 2/98 (% by weight) and kneaded in the presence of
an organic peroxide. A vulcanizate rubber excelling in mechanical strength,
water resistance and thermal aging resistance can be manufactured from said
composition, since its crosslink density can be enhanced without impairing
processing properties. Additionally, said composition entails reduced mold
fouling phenomenon in the molding operation. Vulcanizate rubber thereby
obtained can be advantageously used as industrial parts and electric parts.

IPC: A61B8/00
Filed: 1998-02-13
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for
interpolating image lines from ultrasonically
obtained scanlines of an image region. The
interpolated lines are preferably formed one-quarter
and three-quarters of the distance between each pair
of received scanlines by combining weighted samples
of the adjacent scanlines in proportion to their
distances from the interpolated lines. The received
scanlines are preferably formed by a beamformer which
samples the received lines at quadrature phases of
the scanhead center frequency and filters the samples
by combining successive samples of a related phase.
The image lines are scan converted by computing a
grid of weighted values between each pair of image
lines, and using the closest value for each pixel in
the ultrasound image.

Abstract: A customer-replaceable module (10) having a fusing
subsystem (12, 14) therein for an electrophotographic
printer or copier includes three separate devices (30, 32,
36) for detecting potentially dangerous temperature
conditions within the module (10). A first thermal cutoff
(30) spaced from the fuser roll (12) can detect high
temperatures caused by incorrect software operation and
hardware failures. A second thermal cutoff (32) contacting
the fuser roll (12) outside of the paper path can detect
failures associated with software malfunctions and paper
shielding the first thermal cutoff (30). A thermistor (36)
contacting the fuser roll (12) in the paper path can
interface with the control software of the printer or
copier itself. The thermal cutoffs (30, 32, 36) function
entirely independently of the control software of the
printer or copier. The module (10) may further include an
electronically-readable memory (50) for recording failure
conditions.

Alternatively the hob may have four identical inductors arranged symmetrically in a circle with diametrically opposite inductors supplied by different generators. The surface occupied by the inductors is approximately equal to the surface of part at least of the vessel to be heated (21). An alternative supply method is to use switching to supply diametrically opposite inductors alternately from a single electric generator. A control panel is provided to allow the user to selectively activate individual inductors all to operate them all in conjunction.

reproducing element (10), and for activating the source emitting
light for the right eye only when the image for the right eye is
displayed and for activating the source emitting light for the
left eye only when the displayed image is for the left eye.

Inventor: CERVIN-LAWRY ANDREW V C
IPC: H01L21/82
Filed: 1998-02-13
Abstract: An improved antifuse which employs the base-emitter junction of a silicided single polysilicon bipolar transistor. The distance between the base metal and emitter metal is shortened and results from self aligning process steps rather than lithographic steps, resulting in a lower and better controlled programming voltage, programming energy and ON state resistance. Typically the conductive filament formed in the new antifuse is about 0.65 microns long and is formed by a voltage pulse having a relatively slow rise time (e.g. 150 microseconds), resulting in improved properties which provide advantages in circuit design and in manufacturing circuits using the new antifuse.
Patent EP-0892733-A1 (EP)
Inventor: FREY RUDOLF
IPC: B62K19/00
Filed: 1998-02-16
Abstract: The frame structure has two adjacent bent pipes (1, 2) which extend in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and are inclined towards each other. In the illustrated side view, only the bent pipe (1) on the left side of the vehicle can be seen. This bent pipe (1) has a shape similar to that of a bowsaw. The idea underlying the invention is that the weight of the vehicle occupants acts on the bent pipe structure and is deflected into forces which push the two ends (4; 6) of the pipe away from each other. These deflected forces are in turn absorbed by pipes (10, 11) arranged in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and which indirectly interconnect the ends of the bent pipes (1, 2) absorbing the traction forces therebetween. The two bent pipes (1, 2) are inclined towards each other and thus form a gable, seen in the longitudinal direction. The forces exercised downwards by the weight of the drivers upon this structure are thus deflected not only into traction forces acting between the front and rear ends (4, 5; 6, 7) of the bent pipes, but also into traction forces acting between the two front ends (4, 5) and the two rear ends (6, 7) of each bent pipe.
